Hollywood Rhapsody

"So, our "Sarah" plan is going to be updated again? This is really happy and headache news. It's hard to imagine what the final movie will be like!" Jason also lay on the lawn, although he hated He couldn't start shooting the movie in the next second, but he was also looking forward to Sarah's casting idea, so he could only cover his eyes with his arms and hum in confusion.

"No matter what, we will succeed! Right, Sarah?" Leonardo looked sideways at Sarah lying beside him.

"Yes, it will definitely succeed!" Sarah raised the corners of her mouth and responded firmly and confidently.

They are planning a new legend in this quiet afternoon.

For Sarah, at this moment they are like the lucky ones who own a gold mine but don't know how to mine it, and how to choose a gold mining partner becomes extremely important, which makes Sarah and Leonardo a headache After a long time, as for Jason, he was much calmer. He was like the greatest and dedicated artist in the world. He held the script and said indifferently: "Compared with the draft, I am more interested in movies. If the actors you finally choose This movie is ruined, don't doubt my anger, I'll show you how lethal the 'Canadian Psycho' is!"

"Oh, I'm so scared!" Sarah made an exaggerated expression, then smiled at Leonardo, and took out their mobile phones to call for help outside the venue.

In order to perfectly realize this bold plan, Leonardo used his contacts, and Sarah dialed the only business figure she could talk to in this world-David Stern. With David's experience, experience and connections, he will definitely give her some valuable advice, and the NBA president did not disappoint his little niece.

"I really know someone here... The old Michael is currently at a low point in his career, and he may be interested in your project." David Stern said on the phone, "Because of the relationship between nba player agents, I Played a lot with him, he's definitely a shrewd old guy, and you should be able to learn a lot from him."

"Who? Who are you talking about... that Michael from CAA? Michael Ovitz?" Sarah was frightened by her uncle David, and she stuttered. She was very grateful to David for his support because of the NBA players' strike. He helped her so patiently when he was already so busy, but was the surprise too big?He actually introduced her to the famous Hollywood legend creator--Michael Ovitz

"No, no, no, how can we invite this great god for our small troubles! He is the founder of caa and the president of Disney!" Perhaps this name is just a combination of a few letters to the public, but Sarah However, they do know his brilliance. Michael Ovitz, the founder of Creative Artists Agency (Y, CAA for short), the largest Hollywood agency, has been elected as the "Most Influential Person in Hollywood" for three consecutive years. His ability Countless people marveled at his vision, vision and wrist. Last year, this mighty old lion joined Disney with a high profile but was kicked out in a hurry. He is in his own trough, but the trough is also the lion!Sarah felt that she would be instantly reduced to scum in front of Michael Ovitz, and would be sent to her knee in minutes.

However, David Stern just smiled and encouraged Sarah, and corrected: "In the past, he was the helm of CAA, and he was the president of Disney. These achievements can only mean that he was once brilliant. After leaving Disney and losing to his apprentice, he needs a chance to climb to the top again, and Sarah, maybe you are the lovely angel who pulled him up! Be confident, dear Sarah, a child of the Stern family Always be confident."

When Sarah ended the call with Michael Ovitz, Leonardo on the other end also hung up the call from CAA.

"We seem to have caused a war." Leonardo leaned on the sofa wearily. This is his residence in Los Angeles. "Pull" base changed here.

"I didn't expect that David would introduce Michael, and you found the young helm of caa, the peak duel between master and apprentice! They just competed not long ago, and Michael lost to the perfect brokerage company he established, and now we A new battle has started? Wow, there’s a good show to watch!” Sarah blinked, and the excitement at the beginning was gone. After successfully recruiting Michael Ovitz into the team, she knew this level The big project is no longer in her control, she just needs to sit aside and watch the show obediently, I believe Michael, a veteran, will not let them down.

So after Sarah finished speaking, she immersed herself in the 800-page "Outline of Behavioral Research: Methods and Data Analysis". Obviously, she was more interested in the text than Michael and caa. After a while, she suddenly closed the book again. Juedi said to Leonardo: "The only thing we worry about now is whether their competitive relationship will turn into cooperation. You must know that this will determine our negotiating position in it. Copyright sharing and brokerage contract sharing, this is cake The sweet and attractive part of the middle school, if they compete, we will strive for the greatest benefit, and if the master and apprentice are united, then for the young and weak, we will only be robbed!"

Leonardo also frowned: "It seems that the partner you have found is too strong, and it is not a good thing."

"It is an inevitable consideration of pros and cons. If you choose incompetent people to cooperate, the project may fail, and those with sufficient capabilities are too smart! This kind of trouble is unavoidable. Perhaps we should also be grateful for the honesty of Michael and caa, Because we didn’t realize that the winner of the draft might also be a gold mine with unlimited potential until we got in touch with them, and we almost missed this treasure. Fortunately, we moved fast enough, and once the patent and copyright are registered, they can’t take it away. "Sara narrowed her eyes slyly like a fox, then her eyes fell on the book in hand, and her eyes flashed quickly.

Facts have proved that they completed the copyright registration as soon as they discovered the gold mine of "draft", which saved them a lot of troubles. The development of things was smoother than Sarah and Leonardo expected, and finally caa and Michael reached an agreement. After several attempts, they decided to make a fortune together in consideration of their old friendship. The young Turk even invited Michael to return to CAA. CAA will set up a special department for "draft", which shows that they are optimistic about this project. They It seems very certain that the "star of tomorrow" will become the golden hen of caa in the future!

But to Sarah's surprise, Michael did not take this opportunity to return to the CAA kingdom he founded, but chose to join Sarah's young team, a small company with only Sarah and Leonardo at present. Don't Hollywood legends really feel aggrieved?What exactly is he trying to do?When asked why, Michael's eyes lit up like a young soldier who was about to rush to the front line. He answered Sarah confidently: "Back to CAA can at most restore yesterday's glory, and what I want is to climb to a higher level." High pinnacle."

What is a higher pinnacle?Sarah didn't ask, but under the escort of Michael Ovitz, a local god, Sarah's ambitions for Hollywood are also on the verge of stirring. In a world full of opportunities, Sarah is very curious about where she can go One step, how far can her prophet go, and how far can she and Leonardo's Starlight Entertainment go reads();.

"We should have cooperated with a TV station." This is the third time Leonardo sighed after signing the contract, "Although I doubt how many potential future stars can be found through the draft, what if? As long as one is found, it will be a fortune, and we have given CAA the first right to sign? We obviously have Michael, why don't we create a brokerage company of our own?"

"We have a share of the brokerage agreement! It is the most sensible and kind way to give the possible future stars to the best mentor while earning money." Sarah decided to stop the greedy young man in front of her, Although she herself has very big ambitions and even wants everything, she is obviously more rational and self-aware than Leonardo, "As for Michael... have you forgotten his previous failed attempt? Even under caa's obstruction It is also very difficult for him as the founder to create a second CAA, sometimes the success cannot be replicated, especially when this success can be called a legend.”

Seeing Leonardo, Sarah was still a little unwilling, so she could only pat him on the shoulder and continued to add: "As long as we have the copyright in our hands, as long as the talent show is successful, our income will be very considerable! CAA values ​​talent more than TV income, So we got a revenue share that the TV station could not agree to, to be honest, we just put forward an idea and plan, and the rest of the coolies were done by CAA, in the end we made money, they made people, what an easy and cost-effective deal!"

"Well, what you said makes sense, so should we raise our glasses to celebrate that we can become Hollywood traffickers at the end of the century!" Leonardo teased himself, and actually poured himself a glass of red wine, and then Regardless of Sarah's strong protests, he gave Sarah a glass of orange juice, "To the traffickers!"

Sarah picked up the orange juice in distaste, like an angry little beast, and bared her teeth fiercely at Leonardo: "Respect to the most careful man on earth!"

-----------------------------

The summer of 1998 was destined to be hot. A movie dream that swept across the entire United States made this summer full of screams. Before the filming of the movie "Sarah" started, it attracted countless attention. Even when Steven Spielberg's new film "Saving Private Ryan" was released, media reports on "Sarah"'s "Finding the Star of Tomorrow" activities did not decrease.

"This is a young movie. Sarah, who is only 17 years old, is the author of the original novel and serves as the screenwriter and heroine of the movie "Sarah". The 20-year-old director Jason is still a junior in school. And Leonardo, a 24-year-old Hollywood star, has become the oldest member of the film's main creative staff. We can't predict what kind of movie this group of children will finally present, but we still look forward to it. Brave and bold young people It is worthy of support." Leonardo put down "Variety Show" in his hand, and was quite satisfied with his attitude.

Sarah curled her lips and read the "Hollywood Report" vividly: "This is nonsense. Among the three children, only Leonardo can be regarded as a filmmaker. I think this is their wayward behavior of burning money. I can't imagine Leon. Nadeau turned down a blockbuster offer for such a farce that he has been blinded by success and superstitious about Cameron's "Angel Says" and will no doubt miss a real opportunity."

"It's been three months since the Oscars ceremony, and they still published this photo in the newspaper." Afterwards, Sarah casually threw away a newspaper with the scene of Leonardo hugging her at the Oscars, and picked it up. Another read, "Look at what's written here, the media think we're in love, they think James' joke at the award ceremony came true, you've dedicated yourself to me!"

"Isn't it? Not only do I want to dedicate myself to you, but I also want to really become the father of your child!" Leonardo smiled and glanced at the newspaper. There have been a lot of such news in the past half month. They and Jason went to many places for the filming, and naturally he did not escape the capture of the media. However, poor Jason seemed to be a transparent person. In the eyes of the paparazzi, there were only Leon and Sarah!

Jason also enthusiastically read the latest gossip, and then pointed at himself in the corner of the photo with only one arm and shouted dissatisfiedly: "These reporters are so cruel, they only left me with one arm! Even for the sake of giving I can't stand the selling point of filmmaking anymore, and I will reveal to the media tomorrow that the one who really fell in love with Sarah is me, a talented young director like me!"

"No, it's not hot enough." Sarah wagged a finger and looked at Jason and Leon with ulterior motives, "I don't mind revealing a big secret to the paparazzi, but I've always been just covering you two In the guise of a real lover, the real lover is actually... hahaha..."

"God! Take this lunatic away!" Leonardo rubbed his arms in horror, loudly interrupting Sarah's astonishing words.

And Sarah curled her lips, and said slowly with interest: "Dear Leon, please remember your performance today. If one day you miss the Oscar because of this, don't blame me for revenge."

"Ha! So our Little Angel Oscar has this hobby?" Leonardo blinked his eyes a few times in cooperation, as if he could see Sarah's true face clearly, then he raised his hands in compromise to express his surrender, and said pitifully, " Well, for Oscar, I am willing to do anything, as long as my little angel is satisfied."

Sarah knew that Leon was just taking her words as a joke, well, after she brought the script in front of him, let's appreciate his surprised expression!Looking at the handsome blond guy in front of him, Sarah could no longer associate him with the melancholy and slightly fat middle-aged handsome guy. The stubborn old man who had worked hard for Oscar for countless times seemed to be fading from her memory.

Leonardo didn't know Sarah's little calculations. He was in a good mood recently, and even the negative reports from the media couldn't affect him at all. It was because their big plan for the draft was progressing unexpectedly. The smooth!

On the homepage of Prophecy.com, the eye-catching combination of Sarah and Leonardo has attracted the attention of all netizens, and their youth declaration is a blockbuster that has been dropped across the United States-"This is a movie that really belongs to young people." The movie, young people's stories are interpreted by young people, we record our own growth, we interpret the happiness that belongs to youth, as long as you are young, then there will be your shadow in the movie, as long as you dare to love, hate, dare to Cry and laugh, "Sarah" will be the stage for you to realize your dreams, join us, show your youth, you are the star of tomorrow!"

Young people with dreams of acting can almost be described as fanatical. Leonardo's first work after titanic attracted girls all over the United States, wishing they could fly over immediately.In less than a week, caa has received more than 100 video submissions, which completely exceeded the expectations of all project participants.

Jason finally stopped complaining about the slow progress of the film. He rubbed his hands and happily devoted himself to the happiness of casting. Sarah, who had started to enjoy the summer vacation, was naturally not idle. She was more direct than watching all Jason's goals carefully—— Find familiar faces!

If the future Hollywood superstar started her acting career with her "Sarah", how will people talk about the movie "Sarah" after many years?It may not be the most successful movie, and it may not have the escort of an Oscar statuette, but it has unearthed many Hollywood superstars!It will become a Hall of Fame classic.

Every time Sarah thinks of this possibility, Sarah can't help but stare. At this moment, she seems to become a crazy collector who picks up leaks, vowing to keep all the treasures with appreciation potential as her own!

Surprisingly, one of the more than 100 participants in the first week was discovered by Sarah——Rachel Nichols. Although she is not a superstar, she is still active on the screen for many years , in "Special Forces: Rise of Cobra", "Beyond the Timeline" and the American TV series "Criminal Minds" have performed well, and at this time she is just an 18-year-old girl who has never appeared on a movie screen.

"How is she?" Sarah pointed to the display screen. In the video, Rachel played the role of "Bookworm", a classmate in Sarah's novel. This is a kind and timid nerd, and there are many plots in the novel. , who was once bullied by Sarah, but later reached out to help Sarah when she faced difficulties regardless of past suspicions. She is one of Sarah's best friends.And Rachel's paragraph is exactly when Sarah found out that she was pregnant, the nerdy girl kindly explained it regardless of previous suspicions.

"She chose a difficult scene. The nerdy girl is an introverted and sensitive character. She doesn't talk much, and many emotions and emotions need to be interpreted by changes in her eyes. Although her performance is still a bit jerky, it still makes me feel very happy. One light." Jason commented in this way, he wrote down the label of the video tape and the names of the performers in his notebook, it seems that Sarah has become one of her collections of "future stars" without needing Sarah to speak. .

Sarah happily flipped through the remaining video tapes, because the photos and names of the performers were all pasted on the video tapes, so she quickly found her target, another familiar name——Channing Tatum!
